Houston vs. Utah Prediction
The difference here is Utah's defense. The Utes are particularly strong against the pass, ranking in the 95th percentile for passing success allowed. Utah's defense ranks in the 91st percentile in overall success rate allowed.
Both offenses are strong, but Utah has so many strengths on defense that it will end up being the decision maker in this Big-12 matchup.
Houston vs. Utah Prediction: Utah Utes -6.5 (-112)
